They might add in Alan Moore and Brian Bolland’s The Killing Joke if they’re also Joker fans. Some may also cite Frank Miller’s other seminal work, Batman: Year One. If you ask any comic book lover what their favorite Batman story is, they will, without hesitation, say The Dark Knight Returns.
#BATMAN LONG HALLOWEEN MOVIE#
These of course come as the story unfolds and well I didn't see it coming (which is more than I can say for the new Sherlock series which I figure out twenty minutes into each episode so this has a good plot).One of the best Batman murder mysteries get its own animated movie that faithfully recreates the original graphic novel… with a few twists. You don't want for any details except those surrounding the new and interesting killer that strikes every holiday. Each character is well fleshed out, their lives are shown at home, on the streets, at work, with their love interests. It is entirely around this conflict that everything can be seen. Three men all trying to fix Gotham and taking very different approaches. It dwells on Gordon as much as a Batman and even more on Harvey Dent. The Joker is behind bars and criminals like Scarecrow and the Mad Hatter are dealt with too. The story looks at Commissioner Gordon's first proper case with Batman that isn't solved in a night. Nolan was working from a cheat sheet the whole time. I like Batman, more when he isn't being camp and colourful, and this story is what made the Nolan films so great. I've loved superheros all my life, both in the silver age and now in the modern age. If it had ended a few pages sooner it would have been perfect. As an Irish person I was a little put off by it.Ģ. The portrayal of the Sullivan gang (who are of Irish extraction) is such an American stereotype of what an Irish person acts and sounds like. I would have given 5 stars were it not for two aspects.ġ. The cameo appearances from Batman's rouge gallery is brilliant as each of their personalities are expressed perfectly. Jim Gordon is a continuation of who we meet in Year One. Harvey Dent's transformation from white knight DA to the conflicted Two-Face is excellently brought to life. It's a quite striking thread that runs throughout the story. The difference is the juxtaposition between Wayne/Kyle, who at times display unexpected vulnerabilities compared to Batman/Catwoman who are always in control. The dynamic between the four personas is what we've come to expect. What makes this such an enthralling read is the pace of the story and the depth the characters is perfectly balanced.įirstly, Bruce Wayne/Batman and his (their) relationship with Semina Kyle/Catwoman.

Each murder occurs on the same day as a holiday, beginning on Halloween 🎃 and lasting a full calendar year.īatman, Jim Gordon and Gotham's highly driven DA Harvey Dent make a pact to end the reign of the so called "Holiday" killer. Somebody in Gotham is picking off members of the Falcone and Maroni crime families, the caveat. There are no weak characters in this story. If you are looking for a more definitive Batman story you will be looking hard.
